I'm going to be 60 on 11/6 and very proud of it..........especially since strangers always think I'm the wife of one of my two sons.  BTW I LOVE Birthdays and all that goes with it contrary to what many people feel.

Biologically I'm 22
When I bicker with my sister my mom says I act like a 4 year old...
With some of my meds I have ADD like a hyperactive 8 year old.... Oh look! A butterfly!
At times I physically feel about 80.
And I like to act about 12!

I'm 37, but I knew that something was really wrong with my transplant when a pensioner whizzed past me while I was trying to walk up a hill! I sat down on the nearest wall and burst into tears!

Dialysis sometimes makes me feel my proper age and sometimes makes me feel 100!!
